Description
Type 5420 microlitre centrifuge is a compact laboratory centrifuge supplied complete with a 24-place microcentrifuge rotor type FA-24x2. It accommodates up to 24 × 1,5/2,0 ml tubes and is fitted with an aerosol-tight lid for safer handling of sensitive samples. Maximum speed reaches 15.060/min, generating a relative centrifugal force of up to 21.300 × g, supporting routine nucleic-acid, protein and cell-pelleting workflows in molecular biology and clinical research laboratories. External dimensions are given as W 22 × H 120 × D 239 mm, and the unit weight is 16,170 kg, making the instrument suitable for standard benchtop installation where space is limited. The rotor and lid configuration help contain aerosols during high-speed runs, which is relevant when processing potentially hazardous or valuable specimens. This Type 5420 package from manufacturer Eppendorf is offered as a single complete unit, ready for integration into daily sample-preparation sequences that require reliable microlitre-scale separation performance without additional cooling options specified in the source data.
This article is part of Microcentrifuges & mini centrifuges, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Type 5420 microlitre centrifuge,, incl. 24-fold micr. rotor type FA-24x2
What is this article?
Type 5420 microlitre centrifuge,, incl. 24-fold micr. rotor type FA-24x2 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Eppendorf for laboratory use. It sits in Microcentrifuges & mini centrifuges, inside Centrifuges, in Lab instruments.
A microcentrifuge spins 0.2 mL to 2 mL tubes at high force. A mini centrifuge is the small quick-spin for bringing a droplet down from a lid. They are not interchangeable with a 50 mL rotor. The lid lock is part of the safety of the instrument.
A centrifuge separates by density. The rotor spins the sample and the force is reported as a multiple of gravity, not as a raw speed, because the same revolutions per minute are a different force at a different radius. A microcentrifuge takes small tubes. A benchtop or floor model takes larger rotors. The tube, the adapter and the rotor have to be the combination the manufacturer rated. An unbalanced load is how centrifuges fail. Measurement of the related quantities sits with the BIPM.
